Quote: "Putin announced the partial mobilisation and intensification of military industry. Shoigu said that 300,000 people would be mobilised. Given that they lie all the time, even more will probably be called up.
Our team will focus even more attention on the Drone Army project in order to provide the Ukraine’s Armed Forces with efficient UAVs. For each Russian mobilised person and a tank, we should have several armed drones."
Details: Fedorov expressed his confident opinion that all Ukrainian tech companies should focus on developing military technologies.
"We have to be even more innovative, fast and flexible. We believe in the Armed Forces, we support the Armed Forces, and we develop technologies," the Minister added.
Background: Vladimir Putin announced partial mobilisation of Russians, starting as early as 21 September. Ostensibly, only those Russian citizens who are in the reserve will be subject to conscription.
